how unlikely is this..

... that there would be a pristine, unblemished, completely empty square on my calendar, with absolutely nothing going on today. Especially after such a busy week, filled, as they say 'with opportunities'. But there was no place to go,  nothing of a volunteering nature that caused me to have a reason to get up and dressed - dashing off to some obligation. Along about noon, I realized I still had my pj's and slippers on.

I finally did put on some real clothes, so I could go for a walk this afternoon, it was such a pretty day, I could  not let it get by without enjoying some bright sunshine. But that's really it for me. I did wash a couple of loads of clothes, got it all folded and put away. Got some corresponding done, and thought I would try to get to the post office to put my letters and cards in the box before the last truck leaves for Macon, or Montgomery, or where ever our mail gets trucked off to, before they turn around and bring it back to deliver down the street.  But when it occurred to me that federal offices, banks and schools are closed Monday, some celebrating the Presidents, some enjoying 'winter break', I thought - why bother? The timing doesn't really matter that much.

I went to another movie tonight. Really lame, and sort f embarrassing to admit to: the highly cheesy Tyler Perry movie that came out before Christmas. It was just as awful as I had anticipated - no, make that even worse than expected, due to the surprise inclusion of Larry the Cable Guy in the cast. Madea can be hilarious, but it was mostly done in extremely poor taste, with lots of unnecessary foul language added for no purpose whatsoever. The story like was timely - mixed marriage, and resulting confusion/misunderstandings, but overall pretty lame.

I did get a bag of free popcorn, due to the Americans having won a gold medal. The cinemas were giving everyone a small bag of popcorn  each  day we won a gold at the Olympics, so I received a ticket for a free bag at the concession stand when I went (twice) on Friday that I used on Sat. night. And had a flosser in my pocket to clean all the debris out....
